I love how her colleague just jumps into action, keeps her cool, organises everything, kicks mum out of the drivers seat and gets them safely to the hospital, all while comforting her understandably completely terrified colleague. That right there is the essence of being a good paramedic and friend.
its what there trained to do and they do it well they are all a credit to the nhs and the response from dispatch is not fake i know this because ive experianced the same from WMAS dispatch with my mom anouther medic on the show is my Stepfather and his wife had terminal cancer and there was a few times when the call came in he had to be at her side relief crews where scheduled he was stood down and taken immidlaty to her sadly my mom is no longer with us but the most heartwarming thing they did for us was in the final month firstly when we took her to the hospice they aranged a crew who knew my mom to assist my stepdad in transporting her they sat on standby that morning my stepdad was struggling so they sent the crew who also contained a close freind to comfort him the final thing they did was at the funeral we was walking down the driveway to the crematorium as we rounded a corner there must have been atleast 12-20 paramedics and the manager all stood in a line saluting us as we walked past them i dont remember the number but i do remember when i sat down i didnt see them enter but when i aproached the lectern to give my eulogy there they where loads of them in the back rows of the church there to pay there respects my mom was not a medic she didnt work for them she didnt do anything really for them but like my stepfather they considered her family and came to pay there respects theese paramedics really are some of the most selfless loving and kind people you could ever meet and as this episode shows many have there own shit going on but they still put on the uniform put on that smile and will be at your side when you need them just like they was at ours when we needed them and even when we didnt think we needed them
i was literally just thinking thats such a beautiful collegue to support eachother, like mine at work today that comforted me, and that you dont need some power trips your all humans trying to work and doing your best
I'm an EMT. I was on duty when my dad's at home cardiac arrest went out over the air. I called out of service, called my supervisor, told them I was heading that way, and went. I was driving, but I was driving safely and normally. About halfway from where we were to the house, my partner looked at me and said "You're in an ambulance you know. No one is gonna pull you over if you exceed the speed limit a bit" My partner helped with the arrest, took care of me after they called him, and checked up on me for a while afterwards. The bond you make on an ambulance is like no other. You spend 12+ hours locked in a cab, responding to calls, working with, eating with, sleeping next to, that person. When shit hits the fan, whether it be an on shift moment, or a personal moment outside of the job, that partner is gonna be your rock.
It is the same way for those of us who work on the air ambulance or in my case worked until i lost my leg in a wreck. You gain a connection to your partners, the people your with every day teach you so much and you teach them and its a bond that will never be broken.
Similar story here. I was working an OT shift when my grand-father went in to cardiac arrest. My first cardiac arrest as a rookie BLS medic 6 months in to the job. We jumped the call because we had a student. It wasn't until we were halfway to scene when the address clicked in my brain and I figured out who it was. I was first through the door and saw my grandmother doing CPR as best she could. I had to take care of her while also trying to save my grandfather. Ultimately, we pronounced him dead. My part-time partner was a rock star, we still work together 10 years later as two seasoned, full time ALS Paramedics. We b*tch, we squabble, we share dark humour, talk about cute nurses, we know each other better than our spouses, etc. But when sh*t hit the fan (and we are sh*t magnets), we work as a team and have each others back. He's like a brother.
My mom was an EMT (now retired) who had just joined the ambulance company in my town when my dad had a massive heart attack and went into cardiac arrest. My mom began CPR while on the phone with 911. When the ambulance got there her crew member thought she was just in the area and responded as a first responder. When my mom told her that no this is her home and this is her husband my moms crewmate immediately took over CPR as they worked on him. My dad was 36 when he had his first heart attack and thanks to my mom beginning CPR when she did he turned 62 this year!
I had the same thing when I was born, I’m also diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy though nowhere near as severe as Jessica’s. Only difference is, my parents didn’t get a diagnose until I was 18 months old. I can’t imagine if they had been told the day I was born, that it would be the last they would ever see me. Celebrating turning 25 next year!
I was also born with mild cerebral palsy, right hemiplegic, 53 years old, luckily I've been a cyclist for 33 years which has helped me maintain my health.
Let us appreciate the fact that these people not only work for the public, but allowed camera crews to monitor their calls, their personal lives in order to give us a better understanding of a profession. They aren't reality tv stars, they are doing this for education. Hats off!
I am so sorry Christina. That is my biggest fear. We have raised four Daughters and a Son and I do not know how I would cope if I lost any one of them. I pray that you find strength and peace. God Bless.
I love how the whole crew got behind her and dispatched another crew and let her go to the hospital , while on shift , giving her basically compassionate leave without taking away her dignity or sense of perpose , very supportive team .
4:14 -- eyes of fear, courage, worry, determination, helplessness, hopefulness, and deep - deep love for her daughter. Moved by mom's strength and the rallying of her colleagues in her time of need. I hope mom and daughter are well today.
As someone with cerebral palsy (although not too severe, thankfully) this has shown me how lucky I am, but credit to both paramedics here, especially the colleague who manages to keep her cool and keeping her partner as calm as it's possible to be in that situation.
My sister was born with cerebral palsy. Her neck got caught on my mom’s pubic bone and that’s where caused it. She is one of the most severe cases diagnosed
I had a "10 minute" Grand Mal Seizure at work. I had never had a Seizure before. Thank the good Lord I was sitting at my desk and not driving. I was a nurse surrounded by fellow medical personnel who knew what to do. When I finally came to I was in the ambulance. Once at the hospital ED, I was found to have a mass in my Right Frontal Lobe. I was transferred from the local hospital to a trauma hospital in our capital city. They confirmed the mass and location. I then met my amazing Neurosurgeon. I ended up having a stage 3 Astrocytoma. I ended up having brain surgery where they were able to remove 75% to 80% of the tumor. I knew enough to know I knew too much.
This is awful. I have CP and it's not always life limiting. Things like this confirm for me how lucky I am. We can never truly know another person's experience even if we have a similar experience ourselves. Hope she is okay now x
Alexis Turner, me too. I was born at 26 weeks 54 years ago CP on both sides, but left is worse, focal seizures and I just had a shunt put in in February. It’s a hard life. I hope you are doing ok. I feel so sorry for them, she must’ve been terrified. Hope they are doing okay.
@@nevillemason6791 - It’s ALL of our business! They CHOSE to add Jessica’s story to the show. That means her Mother CHOSE to let them do it. We all just want to know how everything turned out… because it was added to this episode! BTW, Jessica is now 19 years old and I only know that because several people in this comment section took it upon themselves to look up what happened, THANKFULLY! I am personally so happy to hear that Jessica made it and is alive today! QUIT TROLLING PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!!!
I really feel for Mum. The stress of many years wondering when your child's condition might take them from you is crushing. My son has cystic fibrosis and earlier this year I stood at the end of his bed seeing the x-rays and being told he probably would not leave hospital. Then, Trikafta came on the PBS here in Australia and three days after taking it, he was complaining about having to stay longer in hospital for the initial monitoring. 7 months on, he has not been back (except for clinic). He's nearly ready to get his licence, he's done some short courses and joined men's shed. He just turned 20. I, however, am suffering from the effects of basically 19 years of waiting for him to die, because that wasn't his only run-in by any stretch. I can't wait to trust in his new health.
I have spastic diplegic cerebral palsy and I am lucky to be a mild case. I use crutches and a wheelchair as needed. This hits close to home because I was in the ER just a week or two ago because I couldn’t breathe thanks to asthma. (4 breathing treatments and oxygen before I was okay) paramedics and ER workers are some of the strongest, bravest people. I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could show how much I appreciate you. It’s a terrifying job and I couldn’t ever imagine how hard this experience is. I hope everything is okay now. Thank you
I’m an EMT who’s child developed CP after being oxygen deprived at hospital. Considering all the long hospital delays and tied up ambulances this program terrified me. I kept thinking this could be my kid. I hope everything works out ok. My thoughts really go out to them.
CP is no longer believed to be from oxygen deprivation. 85-90% of cases are congenital brain malformations, the remainder are due to head injury during or up to several months after birth. b.
@@KB4QAA sure thing. I’ll just let all the hospital specialist doctors that I’ve been intensively dealing with and getting regular updates from that they’re all wrong.
We all in the thin green line stick together. God bless you. Every life is important but when it’s one of your own........well there are just no words!
Not to burst any bubbles but the thin green line belongs to conservation law enforcement such as game wardens, park rangers, plus border patrol. EMS is the thin white line and i agree we stick together.
Parents who care for their kids with such conditions are amazing.. I can't imagine myself being able to handle it :/ one thing to worry about the common stuff like if they're staying out of trouble, but quite another worrying each day if it'd be their last.. especially if not available all the time.
When my son was born he was healthy but at the age of 4 he was diagnosed with Diabetes,it wasn't until he was at the age of 7 that the doctors told me that my son had Cystic Fibrosis because he was not growing and gaining weight,with his diabetes he became epileptic as well.My son lived to the age of 21 and passed away in 2004.
My grandson has cerebral palsy too every day their here is a blessing! I'm so glad her daughter survived an all is ok , how wonderful is her partner she sprung into action x
How her partner was with Natalie when she got the news and for the rest of the clip is astounding. True definition of friendship and family that is not blood.
When I was watching these TV programmes of the ambulance service. When seen these two Nat's (Natalie's) on shift in any episode. Like the other staff. But love seen these two at work, there team work & chemistry on shift is warming. You got to love these two birds (as they say 😊) But when I came to watch this episode I've started balling 😪 I knew a couple with their kid's & medical issues & knowing what they go through. My hart sunk
I don't have Cerebral Palsy but I was born with a heart defect called the Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and they told me I wouldn't surive the first day, yet this year in a few months I will turn 20. My mother always told me I had an angel on my shoulder protecting me. it's very difficult as a mother to hear their baby wouldn't make it the first day or hours and then they're strong enough to do but when something like this happens all that fear will come back to you, my heart goes out to whoever has to deal with this as a mother and father and I wish everyone a long happy and healthy life without any worries.
I'm mother of complex heart child and asd in it too and my son is now 9 I always tell him there is purpose for heart warriors like you too and I tell him the same as your mom told u. I just relived with this video the day my son stop breathing but you are warriors and he difines all medical opinions and is going strong
My sister Bronwyn was born in 1952. Her waters broke a day before her birth. Mum said they smelled bad. She’d been transverse (sideways) in Mum’s womb, and while Mum was in labor, they tried to turn her. But couldn’t. They did a high forcep delivery. Mum was in agony. Bronwyn was born floppy and was a very sleepy baby. She was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, having been starved of oxygen at birth, or during labor. She’s now just turned 70 this year. Although she’s disabled, she’s lived a full life. Married a wonderful, loving man. I wish so much that the medical help she and Mum needed was available at the time. But this video showed me to be grateful for all the years we’ve had Bronwyn. So glad the girl in the video is still with us. 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺
I’m so glad she survived… I feel for the Mom as I had a child that from birth to 2 yrs old basically lived in hospitals… it’s so difficult… I’m just so happy she survived🙏🦋
Yo ví este documento/video... con mi corazón en la boca. Mi alma se estrujaba, por favor! Yo amé a estas profesionales de la salud/emergencias, Amé a la mamá y a su hija. En la República Argentina les decimos que es "gente necesaria". Abrazos
Omg i cant image how that feels. Bloody hell. In tears watching this. Im a mother of 6 and im a teacher absolutely adore children. It pains me to see 1 hurt or poorly. Ive been so lucky. Bless you x x x x
The way the woman is the rock for Nat, organizing everything, stopping an already heartbroken paramedic from being behind the wheel, getting her to Jessica and taking all the risks, getting the whole crew on their legs... It's just cool :)
The moment the vud finished with tears in my eyes I had to know Jessica was still here, I'm so relieved to know she is with mum and doing well, my heart to them all,❤
Oh,my goodness. I'm crying watching this. I cannot imagine how that paramedic was feeling 😔 .But, as I have just read, she made it,and is 19,thank goodness
everyone's worst call. i've never had to respond to a family member but have had to go to a colleague's family member and it isn't easy. prayers for her and the family
It's really hard to concentrate on your job when you have this type of personal problem special being a Paramedic it makes it even harder I really feel the mother's pain!
Thank you so much for supporting each other like this. It makes me feel warm to see the crew work hard to get mom to daughter even in the middle of work. Sometimes the people we rely on for emergencies, have an emergency and need us to be understanding for them. We are all humans, children, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, and sisters and brothers. We need each other and our position in life will never change that.
My paramedic next door neighbour has a daughter with cerebral palsy as well. Shes 10 znd so adorable ... But i see and hear his struggles . Bless them all. 💚💚💚💚💚
Unfortunately this isn’t anything new for me. One of my childhood friends was a lot like Jessica.I don’t think she had CP, but she had a plethora of medical issues since birth and wasn’t suppose to make it past a few months. Blind, non-verbal, bound to a motorized wheelchair, SUPER violent seizures, and couldn’t even bathe or use the toilet on her own. Even so Elizabeth was the life of the party. Even if she couldn’t communicate she could still understand what you were saying. If you told her “hey give me a high five” she’d do it no problem. If you put on ABBA’s Dancing Queen (her favorite song) she’d bust a move. In a case of bitter irony, she died in her sleep when she was 17 in…I want to say 2015.
In cases such as these people outside don't see the true blessing these people are to their families. I have known many people with a plethora of different handicaps and each was a blessing to everyone that knew them. My life has been altered by each of the people I have known threw the years. One such girl was in a car accident and had horrible head trauma and injuries to her spinal column. She couldn't do anything for herself really but as I worked with her she began to do a little better. She would lift her tush to be charged and open her mouth to be fed. When I first started working with her she was only 16 years old and when I move away she was 20. She progressed but will never be able to care for herself. As far as I know she is still in that nursing home being combative to all those people that treat her like she is not a human being, like she doesn't know what they are doing She was very smart but had no way to communicate it because no one else ever talked to her or explained what they were doing to her. It hurts my heart to see how the people in some nursing homes are treated.
The person with her handled that really well, kicking her out of the drivers seat and keeping her calm. Doesnt matter if they are in emergency services or if they are a any job really. Its all the same when its your kid.
Seriously! They shouldn’t make such a big mistake between two very different illnesses. Because most people with cistic fybrosis don’t use a wheelchair, bit many with cerabel Palsy do! So I was like WTF! Guys please correct the mistake, especially if it’s a real case…
@@jessbatchelor685 I watched the episode when it first went out. She has cerebral palsy, not CF. CF doesn't deprive a baby of oxygen at birth ever. It's not even diagnosed for a while after the baby arrives.
I can relate. I was working as a hospital security officer when my mother's health worsened dramatically. I was late for work one night because I found her on the floor as I was leaving. She was scheduled to see her PCP the next day, so she refused to go to the hospital. The next night, it happened again, and she chose to go to work with me. I alerted the ER staff on arrival, and spent the night alternating between my routine duties and checking on my mother.
To all parents with CP children....how special you are to God to be chosen to take care of such Angels... to all children you are special to God and parents God will bless you with all you need to take care of them. 🙏🙏
I have 2 children with CP my daughter is 13 in 2 weeks and my sons 5 ... they arent severe le Jessica but my son has a rare life threatening condition fed via gastrostomy has liver diease autism adhd spd the list goes on .. everyday is a gift
I am now seeing this but I hope it wasn't Jessica's last day and if it was I hope all of her mum's colleagues support her and console her and hopefully she can still do her best as an assistant to saving lives. Condolences to her for wenever it is dat she lost her daughter
I have CP, albeit extremely mild. Nobody would know unless I told them and I can do everything anyone else could and yet my mild complications are so difficult to overcome like proper posture for example. So yea people who have it worse I understand just a little bit how hard it could be for them.
How rare it is that we get to see this angle. Real, raw tragedy unfolding before this woman's eyes. Getting the worst news of her life... her day going from abundantly positive to life shattered in the matter of minutes. It happens everywhere every day, but never so perfectly videotaped. It's perfectly scripted, even though I know it's not.
I love how her colleague just jumps into action, keeps her cool, organises everything, kicks mum out of the drivers seat and gets them safely to the hospital, all while comforting her understandably completely terrified colleague. That right there is the essence of being a good paramedic and friend.
its what there trained to do and they do it well they are all a credit to the nhs
and the response from dispatch is not fake i know this because ive experianced the same from WMAS dispatch with my mom
anouther medic on the show is my Stepfather and his wife had terminal cancer and there was a few times when the call came in he had to be at her side relief crews where scheduled he was stood down and taken immidlaty to her
sadly my mom is no longer with us but the most heartwarming thing they did for us was in the final month
firstly when we took her to the hospice they aranged a crew who knew my mom to assist my stepdad in transporting her they sat on standby that morning
my stepdad was struggling so they sent the crew who also contained a close freind to comfort him
the final thing they did was at the funeral we was walking down the driveway to the crematorium as we rounded a corner there must have been atleast 12-20 paramedics and the manager all stood in a line saluting us as we walked past them i dont remember the number but i do remember when i sat down i didnt see them enter but when i aproached the lectern to give my eulogy there they where loads of them in the back rows of the church there to pay there respects
my mom was not a medic she didnt work for them she didnt do anything really for them but like my stepfather they considered her family and came to pay there respects
theese paramedics really are some of the most selfless loving and kind people you could ever meet
and as this episode shows many have there own shit going on but they still put on the uniform put on that smile and will be at your side when you need them just like they was at ours when we needed them and even when we didnt think we needed them
i was literally just thinking thats such a beautiful collegue to support eachother, like mine at work today that comforted me, and that you dont need some power trips your all humans trying to work and doing your best
The emergency services community is one big family! We take care of each other!

I’m an EMT who’s child developed CP after being oxygen deprived at hospital. Considering all the long hospital delays and tied up ambulances this program terrified me. I kept thinking this could be my kid. I hope everything works out ok. My thoughts really go out to them.
CP is no longer believed to be from oxygen deprivation. 85-90% of cases are congenital brain malformations, the remainder are due to head injury during or up to several months after birth. b.

i cannot confirm this myself but i did read a comment that did say that jessica did live and is 19 now !

We all in the thin green line stick together. God bless you. Every life is important but when it’s one of your own........well there are just no words!
Not so thin green line,,,so thick and strong
Not to burst any bubbles but the thin green line belongs to conservation law enforcement such as game wardens, park rangers, plus border patrol. EMS is the thin white line and i agree we stick together.

@@themanwithinflatableknees8770 makes sense! i suppose i didn’t think differently of it overseas.
Grow up clown I worked at the highest level in this field. The people I worked with are the greatest bunch of back stabbing bullies I have ever met
Parents who care for their kids with such conditions are amazing.. I can't imagine myself being able to handle it :/ one thing to worry about the common stuff like if they're staying out of trouble, but quite another worrying each day if it'd be their last.. especially if not available all the time.
I hope her daughter recovers well x
Story is 3 years old. Daughter made a full recovery.
When my son was born he was healthy but at the age of 4 he was diagnosed with Diabetes,it wasn't until he was at the age of 7 that the doctors told me that my son had Cystic Fibrosis because he was not growing and gaining weight,with his diabetes he became epileptic as well.My son lived to the age of 21 and passed away in 2004.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I am so very sorry for your loss
That's heartbreaking... Am so sorry for your loss and sadness
I'm so sorry for your loss no parent should have to see their own child die, may he rest in peace
My grandson has cerebral palsy too every day their here is a blessing! I'm so glad her daughter survived an all is ok , how wonderful is her partner she sprung into action x
What a wonderful mother and person❤They're both lovely and so is Jessica😢❤❤❤❤
How her partner was with Natalie when she got the news and for the rest of the clip is astounding.
True definition of friendship and family that is not blood.
Felt like crying. God bless them. And well done to her crew member for what she did
this hits home I am on the disabled spectrum of Autism......my mum constantly worries about me, I feel for her so much💕💕
i’m autistic too! i hope you are doing well my friend /gen. :))
When I was watching these TV programmes of the ambulance service. When seen these two Nat's (Natalie's) on shift in any episode. Like the other staff. But love seen these two at work, there team work & chemistry on shift is warming. You got to love these two birds (as they say 😊)
But when I came to watch this episode I've started balling 😪
I knew a couple with their kid's & medical issues & knowing what they go through.
My hart sunk
What season and episode is it?
Which program is this? And what episode and series if you’ve got it? Thanks
I don't have Cerebral Palsy but I was born with a heart defect called the Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and they told me I wouldn't surive the first day, yet this year in a few months I will turn 20. My mother always told me I had an angel on my shoulder protecting me. it's very difficult as a mother to hear their baby wouldn't make it the first day or hours and then they're strong enough to do but when something like this happens all that fear will come back to you, my heart goes out to whoever has to deal with this as a mother and father and I wish everyone a long happy and healthy life without any worries.
I wish u longevity and prosperity. ❤️
I'm mother of complex heart child and asd in it too and my son is now 9 I always tell him there is purpose for heart warriors like you too and I tell him the same as your mom told u. I just relived with this video the day my son stop breathing but you are warriors and he difines all medical opinions and is going strong
This was heart breaking.
Pam is soo sweet to a concerned mum..
She is a drama queen. Shouldn’t be in the job

My sister Bronwyn was born in 1952. Her waters broke a day before her birth. Mum said they smelled bad.
She’d been transverse (sideways) in Mum’s womb, and while Mum was in labor, they tried to turn her. But couldn’t.
They did a high forcep delivery. Mum was in agony. Bronwyn was born floppy and was a very sleepy baby. She was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, having been starved of oxygen at birth, or during labor.
She’s now just turned 70 this year. Although she’s disabled, she’s lived a full life. Married a wonderful, loving man.
I wish so much that the medical help she and Mum needed was available at the time.
But this video showed me to be grateful for all the years we’ve had Bronwyn.
So glad the girl in the video is still with us. 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺
She’s such a lovely lady she was my ambulance driver ❤️
Thank god her daughter was ok
My auntie has CP and she turns 63 this year she had a life expectancy of 9 ❤️
I’m so glad she survived… I feel for the Mom as I had a child that from birth to 2 yrs old basically lived in hospitals… it’s so difficult… I’m just so happy she survived🙏🦋
Yo ví este documento/video... con mi corazón en la boca. Mi alma se estrujaba, por favor! Yo amé a estas profesionales de la salud/emergencias, Amé a la mamá y a su hija. En la República Argentina les decimos que es "gente necesaria". Abrazos
she did a fucking good job keeping it together, huge respect
Omg i cant image how that feels. Bloody hell. In tears watching this. Im a mother of 6 and im a teacher absolutely adore children. It pains me to see 1 hurt or poorly. Ive been so lucky. Bless you x x x x
My heart aches for the Mom… waiting is the worst
The way the woman is the rock for Nat, organizing everything, stopping an already heartbroken paramedic from being behind the wheel, getting her to Jessica and taking all the risks, getting the whole crew on their legs... It's just cool :)
Brought tears to my eyes on hearing that 😢 it was her Daughter. 😢
The moment the vud finished with tears in my eyes I had to know Jessica was still here, I'm so relieved to know she is with mum and doing well, my heart to them all,❤
Watching Jessica's mum breaks down really hits you with the same emotional
Cerebral palsy not cystic fibrosis is what her Mom states in the video.

Oh,my goodness. I'm crying watching this. I cannot imagine how that paramedic was feeling 😔 .But, as I have just read, she made it,and is 19,thank goodness
@CactusCrafts I'm so sorry my punctuation doesn't meet your approval!!
@CactusCrafts oh,and by the way I'm 56,so not a kid
everyone's worst call. i've never had to respond to a family member but have had to go to a colleague's family member and it isn't easy. prayers for her and the family
It's really hard to concentrate on your job when you have this type of personal problem special being a Paramedic it makes it even harder I really feel the mother's pain!
Their partnership is heartwarming. I’m glad she could provide mamma some comfort during a difficult time. It seemed meaningful ❤
This is a reality of anyone who is a first responder and a parent/ carer. Because everyone has a family outside of work and this can happen.
Its wonderful that the two are close friends and work together to support one another 💕🐾🙏🏻
Amazing women. Her colleague handled the situation perfectly
Thank you so much for supporting each other like this. It makes me feel warm to see the crew work hard to get mom to daughter even in the middle of work. Sometimes the people we rely on for emergencies, have an emergency and need us to be understanding for them. We are all humans, children, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, and sisters and brothers. We need each other and our position in life will never change that.
That poor lady I would cry
Not gonna lie I was literally yelling " Hug her! Hug her by damn!" Then she did and I was like yes. This is the way.
Paramedics to me deserve all the praise in the world ...proper heros
My paramedic next door neighbour has a daughter with cerebral palsy as well.
Shes 10 znd so adorable ...
But i see and hear his struggles .
Bless them all.
💚💚💚💚💚
I'm crying watching this. Bless her 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
All of you Ambulance people, EMT’s, paramedics or whatever they call you, are the best of mankind
Unfortunately this isn’t anything new for me. One of my childhood friends was a lot like Jessica.I don’t think she had CP, but she had a plethora of medical issues since birth and wasn’t suppose to make it past a few months. Blind, non-verbal, bound to a motorized wheelchair, SUPER violent seizures, and couldn’t even bathe or use the toilet on her own. Even so Elizabeth was the life of the party. Even if she couldn’t communicate she could still understand what you were saying. If you told her “hey give me a high five” she’d do it no problem. If you put on ABBA’s Dancing Queen (her favorite song) she’d bust a move.
In a case of bitter irony, she died in her sleep when she was 17 in…I want to say 2015.
In cases such as these people outside don't see the true blessing these people are to their families. I have known many people with a plethora of different handicaps and each was a blessing to everyone that knew them. My life has been altered by each of the people I have known threw the years. One such girl was in a car accident and had horrible head trauma and injuries to her spinal column. She couldn't do anything for herself really but as I worked with her she began to do a little better. She would lift her tush to be charged and open her mouth to be fed. When I first started working with her she was only 16 years old and when I move away she was 20. She progressed but will never be able to care for herself. As far as I know she is still in that nursing home being combative to all those people that treat her like she is not a human being, like she doesn't know what they are doing
She was very smart but had no way to communicate it because no one else ever talked to her or explained what they were doing to her. It hurts my heart to see how the people in some nursing homes are treated.
Ambulance 🚑 service r amazing helping each other hope she's ok now
Godspeed for Jessica whether this side or Heaven and so many blessings be upon her Mum💕🙏🏼✝️
Hug scene towards end hit a little tough :(
The person with her handled that really well, kicking her out of the drivers seat and keeping her calm. Doesnt matter if they are in emergency services or if they are a any job really. Its all the same when its your kid.
Seriously! They shouldn’t make such a big mistake between two very different illnesses. Because most people with cistic fybrosis don’t use a wheelchair, bit many with cerabel Palsy do! So I was like WTF! Guys please correct the mistake, especially if it’s a real case…
I think she has cf, but because of this, she was deprived of oxygen at birth, resulting in cerebral palsy
So she has both
My guess anyway xx
I think her mum knows what she has tbh. That’s the girls mother talking in the background
@@jessbatchelor685 I watched the episode when it first went out. She has cerebral palsy, not CF. CF doesn't deprive a baby of oxygen at birth ever. It's not even diagnosed for a while after the baby arrives.
I can relate. I was working as a hospital security officer when my mother's health worsened dramatically. I was late for work one night because I found her on the floor as I was leaving. She was scheduled to see her PCP the next day, so she refused to go to the hospital. The next night, it happened again, and she chose to go to work with me. I alerted the ER staff on arrival, and spent the night alternating between my routine duties and checking on my mother.
To all parents with CP children....how special you are to God to be chosen to take care of such Angels... to all children you are special to God and parents God will bless you with all you need to take care of them. 🙏🙏
I hope your daughter is feeling better
I'm so happy for you and Jessica. 😢😢❤❤
I’m remember. I watched this. Poor woman.
She’s a beautiful woman and She has a beautiful daughter
I'm so sorry sweetheart that this happened to you while at work. Godbless 🙏🙏
I have 2 children with CP my daughter is 13 in 2 weeks and my sons 5 ... they arent severe le Jessica but my son has a rare life threatening condition fed via gastrostomy has liver diease autism adhd spd the list goes on .. everyday is a gift
Very good channel and videos. This one is very hard to watch. Had tears in my eyes the whole time.
I couldn't understand half of what was being said, but as a mom myself I could understand her pain and fears
Bless them i love all the emergency services especially nhs ,saved me and gave top top care all my life ,angels kn earth
What a load of crap that, at the end, they didn't even bother to let us know the outcome...so we had to find the answer somewhere else.
Top comment rn
I am now seeing this but I hope it wasn't Jessica's last day and if it was I hope all of her mum's colleagues support her and console her and hopefully she can still do her best as an assistant to saving lives. Condolences to her for wenever it is dat she lost her daughter
She turned 19 this year
@@MsPinkwolf Beautiful I hope she can have a few more years
I have CP, albeit extremely mild. Nobody would know unless I told them and I can do everything anyone else could and yet my mild complications are so difficult to overcome like proper posture for example. So yea people who have it worse I understand just a little bit how hard it could be for them.
Hi everyone, is this a clip from a tv series? Would love to know how this story unfolds more thanks
Y’all did not have to my cry like this 😮💨
How rare it is that we get to see this angle. Real, raw tragedy unfolding before this woman's eyes. Getting the worst news of her life... her day going from abundantly positive to life shattered in the matter of minutes. It happens everywhere every day, but never so perfectly videotaped. It's perfectly scripted, even though I know it's not.
I hope and pray that her daughter is ok.
Prayers to this family.
I hope you're daughter is ok
This is a Touching Story from Pennsylvania
poor nat greaves glad jesscia was ok in the end she looks such a sweet girl with a loving caring mom nat callow was lovely too x
I thought she would freak out at some point. Glad the colleague was there.
Jess is Amazing and her family too ❤
I found on Twitter she had her 19th birthday January 2021
Bless you all
Hope your all okay and gets well soon
I am so sorry for your loss
What loss??
Who helps the helpers ❤
How horrible and on her birthday. I would be going crazy if I were her mom.
